If someone had bad hormone levels like high coritsol all the time, low test and so on, I'd recommend sensible resistance training, a good diet, appropriate cardio, more sleep and stress/lifestyle...

They're not supposed to be. A 130lb guy deadlifting 260lbs isn't the same as a 300lb guy deadlifting 600lbs, due to leverages and other reasons, and the fact that the 130lb guy will normally have a...

Ah, strength standards, I thought you were meaning more about lifts relative to each other for structural balance.


Here's the ones from Rippetoe's practical programming, a good starting point,...

What do you mean? Like the suggestion that you should overhead press 2/3 or more of your bench press, chin your best bench for 3 reps, deadlift more than you squat and other general guidelines for...

He laughs at the idea of changing and is stubborn, yet you class him as 'motivated', why? People often appear motivated by buying a lot of sessions upfront, or telling you how motivated they are, but...

Volume is total sets and reps (multiplied together), 10 sets of 5 (50) is more volume than 2 sets of 5 (10), and 2 sets of 10 (20) is more volume that 15 sets of 1 (15).

Intensity is % of 1 rep...

I think you might have missed my point on this. If you can't teach someone to squat one-on-one you should definitely work to improve that until you can and not instruct groups yet, my point is that...

That's perfectly fine, but most average clients aren't going to be athletes and need more general habits and accountability for diet that macro ratios etc, and just general mastery of some basic...

Life is full of compromises, of course group PT sacrifices the individuality (in terms of programming and attention) of 1-on-1, but if means you can help more people, get more referrals, you earn...

The friends-in-high-places-cert is generally a good one.

I think this one might be above your pay grade, don't be tempted to play doctor.

For free stuff google 'mobilitywod' which are daily short videos with certain tips, usually 3-10 mins in length. Go back to the very start and watch through them, there's probably 400-500 of them,...

Many people succeed in spite of what they do, not because of it. A 16 year old Konstantin Konstantinov (a teenage gymnast at the time, now elite powerlifter) his first time at the gym pulled a...

If by 'functional' you mean stuff like kettlebells, med balls, battling ropes, sand bags and so on (not bosu balls and the like) then Iron Edge would be the best bet:

Minimal equipment can be quite a big hinderance, unless they're absolute novices or you're in a good park with say a chinup bar, steps and other convenient stuff. You can get a lot done with very...

Well if you want to go from Personal Training to more of a strength and conditioning path, you'll need to start making connections with schools, sporting clubs and the parents of the kids who play...

If you're cycling 2-3x/week, 3x/week of gym work is probably enough, upper body twice/week, lower body once/week. Do a horizontal push, horizontal pull, vertical push, vertical pull, bicep exercise,...

Buy Kelly Baggett's book on vertical jump training:

Ignore the annoying ad copy, it's an excellent product (like all of his books), and...

I think it's very rare to have someone who can't get into a decent squat position, unless they're extremely immobile or with past injuries (although that describes a lot of PT clients, it's easy to...

I've have a lot of success with myself and clients lifting weights in a progressive manner and eating well, on top of doing some enjoyable stuff outside the gym (recreational sport, walking outside...
